*The late Michael ‘Mikey’ Hynes. 

A ST STEPHEN’S DAY SWIM in aid of the late Mikey Hynes has already raised well over €6,000.

Friends of the late Whitegate native have organised a festive swim in his memory which will take place at Mountshannon Harbour from 11am on December 26th.

All funds raised are Jigsaw, the National Centre for Youth Mental Health. Jigsaw believe a better life is possible for the hundreds and thousands of young people across Ireland facing mental health difficulties.

Jigsaw offer a listening ear, and give expert advice and support to young people aged twelve to twenty five. They give families, teachers, and those who support young people’s mental health ways to cope, and skills to be there for young people.

An estimated 500 people attended the funeral mass of Mikey in April of this year with St Flannan’s Church in Whitegate at full capacity.

Whitegate’s hurling team whom Mikey was a central cog in their wheel and their freetaker up until his death remembered their former teammate in all their outings this year with the number eight jersey retired for the 2022 campaign.
